Here is a Chinese horse painting for the wall: a silk hanging scroll depicting pine and mountain. Seasoned buyers of horse silk wall art will recognize the practiced hand at once. You can feel the brush moving: quick where the subject runs, slow where it rests.
Every element carries its own quiet message: layered mountains receding into the haze; the pine, symbol of resilience through winter. The color work is all balanced, harmonious tones, laid on over rich, full color with a steady hand. The tall, narrow shape suits modern walls as well as it suited the old studios. Look for pine and mountain first; the balanced, harmonious tones around them do the quiet work of holding the scene together. The rich, full color keeps pine crisp while letting the balanced, harmonious tones wash softly behind it.
The living room's quietest wall is usually the right one. Perfect for the tea lover's birthday or the scholar's study-warming.
